Knives, fun to collect.

I am a bit of a collector of knives, pocket knives for the most part. After the hammer, I use my knife as much as any other tool. I like the self opening knives that open themselves with a flick of the wrist. I guess its a guy thing. I really enjoy practicing flicking my blade out and then back in with one hand. I also like to keep my knife really sharp, so I take my time in making sure it is very sharp. I, as a rule do not loan my knife to someone for fear they might hurt themselves with it. I purchased a spring assisted knife one day, but seldom carry it as I prefer others without that feature, for me the others work faster anyway. I carry knives in my truck in many different locations and almost always have one in my pocket. I also keep at least one on the bed stand and one in my wife's car for just in case. Knife's, like any other tool are hard to walk by where ever they might be sold, I guess that's good for business and the economy isn't it.
